The Temple

Dan and I went to the temple today and were excited to see the new changes. I felt an overwhelming spirit of confirmation while I was there that God directs The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are his children. He knows us and loves us and understands us. I am grateful.

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 
has issued the following statement:

   "Whenever the Lord has had a people on the earth who will obey His word, they have been 
commanded to build temples. Scriptures document patterns of temple worship 
from the times of Adam and Eve, Moses, Solomon, Nephi, and others.

   With the restoration of the gospel in these latter days, temple worship has also been restored 
to bless the lives of people across the world and on the other side of the veil as well.

   Over these many centuries, details associated with temple work have been 
adjusted periodically, including language, methods of construction, 
communication, and record-keeping. Prophets have taught that there will be no end 
to such adjustments as directed by the Lord to His servants.


   A dedicated temple is the most holy of any place of worship on the earth. 
Its ordinances are sacred and are not discussed outside a holy temple."
